There is a dedicated help thread to amswer your questions. I don't mine gridcoin so it's hard to answer for me.
Do you mean this thread:
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/18805-gridcoin-proof-of-research-information-and-support/
there are 2 questions from yesterday and no answers... I thought more people would read my questions here.
I think me and Traderman are the only ones reading here. Perhaps cross post in the long thread.
